A Grand, Untouched Estate with Boutique Hotel Potential in Arenosa, Panama

Nestled on a private peninsula on the shores of Gatun Lake, ChiQ Villa Gatun is one of Panama’s most unique lakefront offerings, spanning over 5 hectares of titled land and home to a striking architectural structure with panoramic water views, privacy, and commercial potential.

Designed for large-scale living or boutique hospitality, this luxury estate is now for sale, ready to be finished by its next visionary owner.


A Lakefront Canvas Waiting for Completion

Constructed between 2012 and 2014 to a gray-state finish, the 10-bedroom villa has been structurally completed but never finalized, allowing the new owner to customize all finishes, interiors, and features. Whether you envision a private family estate, a wellness retreat, or a boutique hotel with event potential, the groundwork is already laid.

The estate includes:

  • 10 bedrooms, 10 full baths, 3 half-baths

  • Luxury studios, lakeview apartments, and entertainment spaces

  • Reception hall, catering kitchen, movie theater, bar & gym

  • Rooftop terrace, covered pool lounge, and helipad

  • A dramatic infinity-edge pool overlooking the lake

  • Underground infrastructure, installed utilities & hotel license

 

Finish It Your Way

Buyers may complete the villa in partnership with Gatun Lake Construction—the original project contractor and part of the ChiQ Group of Companies—or manage the final stage with their construction team.

Our team can provide cost guidance, architectural input, or turnkey finishing options to help you realize your vision, whether residential, commercial, or mixed-use.

Located in Arenosa, a tranquil village on Gatun Lake, the property is:

  • 1 hour from Panama City

  • 1 hour 20 minutes from Tocumen International Airport

We stayed in one of the ChiQWorld houses in Yuma and absolutely fell in love with the place. The combination of nature, comfort, and total peace is something you don’t find often. Perfect spot for a quiet getaway, and still not too far from the city. Woke up to mountain views every morning.
